From the assistant / valet perspective, I was very pleased with student performance and flow of the class. The newly developed training area and use of equipment at Windrock is outstanding. Shout out to Brother Al for his RSO and range valet assistance, thank you for keeping us on track on moving forward. We had 9 attendees, all of whom were interested in discovering their baseline skill level. Randy provided some back to basics dry fire exercises to compliment the upcoming live fire drill. Based on overall accuracy and speed results, I'd say it made it a difference. The drills, 9 shooters, 1p - 430p, Rastoff's Challenge, FBI Qualification, Bakersfield PD Qualification and the original Federal Air Marshal Qualification. Congratulations to the entire class, everyone shot high 80s to high 90s on the FBI Qualification. @John Hearne mentioned in class,"if are routinely better than 80% on the drills you are shooting, you probably need to add different/ more difficult drills to your training." My only complaint: while temps were the mid 80s, the humidity was miserable. If your sweat isn't evaporating, how do you stay cool? For you girls and guys who work without air conditioning, you have my utmost respect. This is not to discourage anyone from attending summer sessions, simply awareness for proper hydration, Sun protection and staying cool. Having thermo regulation issues, I am extremely cautious from late May to early September. If northern Alabama is convenient, Randy is offering this same event next weekend. Our next planned class at Windrock is Sunday, October 2. Please consider joining us for our fundamentals of fighting in and around your vehicle. Watching the news, it may be a skill set worth adding to your training journey.

If you are looking for or considering a first PCC for under $600, it fits the bill. My HP has run and run and run, keeping up with $1000+ platforms in multiple carbine classes. GLWS! -

Cognitive Pistol w/ Tactical Anatomy - Royal Range 07/17
A.J. Holst replied to John Hearne's topic in Training Discussions
I'm looking forward to it having attended John's who wins / who loses lecture. It nice to be able to unwind and be a student from time to time! Only 3 hours from Knox and you gain an hour on the way... -
My one AR is this rifle. I have not had a malfunction to date over several thousand rounds. I would recommend to anyone looking for their first or next AR

The most overlooked piece of advice. I had good holsters, it was life changing once I got a proper gun belt. Toted a CZ 75B Omega AIWB for years. I still carry a full size when dress and place appropriate

Welcome! -
This is yet another reason I love this forum, y'all have a great sense of humor.

Welcome, we love it when folks bring their money and leave their politics!

I'm a 9mm guy and pretty committed to the APX series; full size, centurion, compact and carry (and a centurion with extra compact grip module for .40) As all are similar, I get reps on the 'same' pistol regardless of what I have one. Exception is the Carry, trigger is different from the double stack APX models. I'd carve out a big "except when" for the guys and girls who competitively pistol shoot (formal or informal) or love to shoot what they collect.

I just got a new knock-around watch. From the internet, I think it is the HiPoint of the dive watch world, the Invicta Pro Diver. Best I can tell, it's hated by watch snobs, grudgingly accepted by watch guys and loved by the fanboys. The original pro diver is as close a copy of to the original Rolex Submariner you can get for $60 - $70. Homage watch is the term used. I was actually looking for a field watch style and Invicta popped into my search. The model I got, 35422, has the field watch look with the simple, clean Rolex-like dive styling, without the maintenance costs of a high end watch. I have a high end automatic Swiss watch, with daily wear, it requires maintenance every 3 ish years or so. It costs, you gotta pay to play. Being a left handed shooter, I wasn't interested in buying another high end watch and subjecting it to recoil. Didn't see a G-Shock that really caught my attention... For $60 plus shipping, the quality is pretty amazing. Stainless steel case with substantial weight, finish of high polish and brushed surfaces is good. Flame Fusion synthetic sapphire crystal, nice marketing. This model does NOT have Invicta etched into the case opposite the crown. The additional etching Master of the Sea and Pro Diver at the top and bottom of the face seems optimistic. Screw down crown, a little gritty, who cares Fave and bezel are well done, lume fades but visible up to 6 hours. I like the counter balance Invicta logo on the second hand What sold me on this watch was the exhibition back and seeing the works. It uses a Seiko NH35A automatic movement.

What liberal zip code in Knoxville voted her in?

Welcome aboard! I too wonder if my target retirement will be a reality.

Erik, I hate to say it, but I am somewhat relieved when the murderer and motive doesn't fit the anti 2A narrative.

I need to get my feeders out! Hummingbird Wars, the most entertaining time of year. We believe we've had at least one repeat customer for three years running. Basing that on the fact she will fly up to my wife and hover about.

From your profile, you are a legal writer? Care to share your motive / agenda? I hope it is to gain valid and truthful information for the legal blog you have linked to your question. Please accept my apologies as I recently read an article where the writer referred to Daniel Defense's use of a pay now pay later platform was a "scheme"

Well said. Last time I checked, a personal, individual choice needs to be made to be a follower of Christ. It's the moral compass I choose to follow. Some may call it free will. Our societal woes also are be driven by subjective morality, "I'm a pretty good dude and anything bad I do isn't illegal (or not that illegal) and not as bad as people I know or read about in the news." At time of the event, as Tom Givens says, "it's doesn't make a effing bit of difference why he is doing it." From reports, LE response was not "industry standard" and the fact he barricaded may infer murder and surrender. I don't have the source, be seem to recall an n emerging trend in these active murderer events is escape/surrender vs. martyrdom.
